Rob, I am more concerned about the immediate than the future state. My wallet has been down for three days now and nothing seems to be bringing it back up. I am not alone in this, there are others in the same boat. How do we get our systems working again?

This is a can of worms. Talk to your accountant and hope so/he understands crypto.

Donating BBP if you're going to file would be value at the date of transaction not value on a different date. You might use CMC historical rates and figure out your donations.

But since you're donating BBP and possibly earning bbp as well... And since it is bbp to bbp is it really a taxable trade?

And then you're not the one selling to BTC and then to fiat... So who gets the deduction?

Filing taxes for crypto is already complicated but trying to declare for orphan foundation is likely something no accountant understands.

Thanks for your reply. Taxes isn't a strong point for me, but I think your questions should be relatively straight forward. The fact that it is crypto shouldn't be much of an issue. The contribution value should be fair market value when the transaction occurred. However, since we are donating aged coins, the taxable basis would be the cost when they were purchased. The basis should be the value at donation minus cost at purchase. How it is treated will be whether it is considered long or short term (whether it is held for more or less than one year)

Could you give me an example of what you mean, for you personally, for our org as a whole, for what charity, and for what purpose is it for?

This is a donation of personal funds by each participant to a charitable foundation that functions as a pass through to Compassion International. I haven't been able to get donations to go through yet, but if I did 200 BBP every four hours, that would equal $94 for 2019 at current prices. This isn't a big deduction to miss out on, but if BBP price goes up significantly, being able to deduct that from my taxes could become a big deal. There are specific reporting requirements for these types of donation, so how do I access the tax reporting for next year's taxes?
